This is the second installment of the Alpha Omega series (third if you count the novella that started it off). Anna and Charles are married, so if you were looking for a long, suspenseful courtship, you’re out of luck. But, the love story doesn’t suffer for it. Their relationship isn’t perfect. Anna still has issues stemming from her time in a nightmare pack, her only experiences as a werewolf. Charles has shown her endless patience, love, and security, but like any recovering victim, Anna has a hard time trusting her new life. The romance between the two characters is engaging and heartwarming. However, that development comes at the cost of a strong plot. The events of the book that cause conflict and start the two on their newest adventure seemed to have been retrofitted into a pretty solid love story. And some of the pieces just don’t work well with the overall book. I will say that, like the story before this one, I read it in two days and became sad that I’d have to wait for the next book. For my part, Briggs is forgiven for her weak plot because Charles and Anna had me hooked.
